I can't see a signature of the second picture but the surname on the first looks awfully like Martins to me

Schmaltz or schmalz is rendered chicken, goose, or pork fat used for frying or as a spread on bread, especially in German and Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. Schmaltz rendered from a chicken or goose (but not pork) is popular in Jewish cuisine; it was used by Northwestern and Eastern European Jews who were forbidden by kashrut (Jewish dietary laws) to fry their meats in butter or lard, the common forms of cooking fat in Europe (Leviticus 7:23), and who could not obtain the kinds of cooking oils, such as olive oil and sesame oil, that they had used in the Middle East and around the Mediterranean (as in Spain and Italy). (The overfeeding of geese to produce more fat per bird produced postclassical Europe's first foie gras as a side effect.[1]) Homemade Jewish-style schmaltz is made by cutting chicken or goose fat into small pieces and melting in a pan over low-to-moderate heat, generally with onions. After the majority of the fat has been extracted, the melted fat is strained through a cheesecloth into a storage container. The remaining dark brown, crispy bits of skin and onion are known in Yiddish as gribenes. Since the rendering process removes water and proteins from the fat, schmaltz does not spoil easily. It can even be used to preserve cooked meats if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry location. This is similar to the French confit. Schmaltz often has a strong aroma, and therefore is often used for hearty recipes such as stews or roasts. It is also used as a bread spread, where it is sometimes also salted, and generally this is done on whole-grain breads which have a strong flavor of their own. And people want to throw it down the drain!!!!

No. We don't think the female changing rooms are fine. Whenever I am in them everybody is grumbling. try them sometimes James....you can say "It's alright. I'm a councillor"

The floors are dirty in the female changing room as well. Also, 22.2 degrees in changing room may sound reasonable but isn't. If you think of the differential between that and the lobby temperature 21.6, where people sit fully clothed, not wet and in swimming gear, you will see it is nowhere near warm enough.

But they can spell

the changing rooms are *******freezing

I'm in. It would be great fun. I am also wondering whether an eating group could come out of this-people who would eat "fine dine" at each other house every month?

Well done. Isn't funny how abusive people get when they are in the wrong.

they were painting yellow dog poo pictures on our pavement in Ondine Road this morning....so amybe the threat/thread is working

The bus journey will take over an hour at the least. The quickest way is ED to LB and then get the Northern Line to the Angel.

Why celebrate posh toffs getting married? How about May 1st instead?

NO! and I don't often shout.

I would also say that it is not a particularly good idea to walk in the dark while talking on an Iphone 4. Because you are talking you are not particularly alert to what is going on around you and it is a desirable bit of equipment. I am not in any way blaming the victim, and any mugging is a horrible thing to happen. However we do need to be as conscious of our own safety as possible.

And please don't worry about walking in Peckham after dark-it is no more dangerous than anywhere else

No

1 down-thanks Peckham Native-1 to go

Let's hear it for my postman. He got through and not even late !

as there seems to be a degree of expertise out there, does anyone have any idea why I can't synchronise my windows calender with my ipod touch? It says it is synchronising but doesn't. No probkem with anything else, contacts etc.

How interesting. I thought of course the info will be available somewhere on TFL but I couldn't find it. Ask the driver?

H. I've got a spare one you can have if you like.
